#sleetblossom

mudfur decides he's going to retire. he picks tadpolepaw as his new apprentice. this is not optional. mudfur is old and tadpolepaw is the only viable choice at the moment.

ridgefall, silverfang, sleetblossom, and willowface become warriors.

dandelionpaw and pinepaw die.

volepaw is apprenticed to emberdawn.

hawkkit dies, as does conekit.

leopardfur and rushtail have another litter, although rushtail agrees to raise them so leopardfur doesn't have to step down as deputy. their kits are bristlekit (the adored from round 1), juniperkit (grey and white tom with grey stripes and teal eyes), lightningkit (tom with teal eyes), pumicekit (dark grey tom with white freckles and hazel eyes), and slugkit (tom with amber eyes).

happily!

of silverfang's surviving littermates (willowface, who recently passed; ridgefall; and sleetblossom), she's closest with sleetblossom.

as for her kits, well, she's had quite a few!

first, on her own, it's birchpaw, dapplekit, dawnfire, moonkit, sprucekit, and squailnose.

birchpaw was mentored by his aunt, sleetblossom, and died in a battle. his littermates became warriors after.

dapplekit was a strong swimmer.

dawnfire has now had her own family, although all her litter all died as kits. she struggled with the loss. her and spruce-eye grew up together and were apprenticehood friends.

moonkit and sprucekit both died young, over a leafbare sickness.

last from these five, squailnose: while he had kits with greyeye, they're not the closest pair of mates.

now, silverfang's younger three, the litter she had with bluefrost, cloudpaw, mapleface, and robinkit.

cloudpaw was always close with her father.

mapleface was also mentored by sleetblossom, and sleetblossom was very happy she survived. losing two of her sister's kits under her mentoring would've been hard on their relationship. (and, obviously, terrible.)

frogleap dies.

baybriar, firfrost, mintfur, pinethorn, prickletail, sapbloom, and sprucefire become warriors.

why does riverclan have so many fucking kits.

beechpaw, conepaw, freckledpaw, pinepaw, sequoiapaw, and willowpaw are apprenticed to silverfang, ridgeshore, mistyfoot, skyheart, sleetblossom, and oakfern.

yes, this means at the tender age of a year and a season, oakfern has two apprentices. starclan said fuck you oakfern.

pebblekit dies.

dawnflower becomes a warrior!

ridgepaw, silverpaw, sleetpaw, and willowpaw are apprenticed to mistyfoot, cedarpelt, silverstream, and swallowtail, but bluekit dies.

vixenleap has one kit with mooseflame, volekit.
